In Nature, Off-Grid, On Full Charge

A large tree's roots and purple flowers at Kilruddery Estate

The beautiful freedom of Killiney Hill in County Dublin and Killruddery Estate, Co.Wicklow are the main locations for our Red Squirrel Treasure Hunts. Here your team will start the day with an inspiring facilitation session, refreshed with local treats. Setting out in teams, they will work together to solve logical problems, observational clues and mind-twisting tests, all in amongst two of Ireland's most treasured beauty spots.

Designed with minimum technology, this off-grid, low-tech hunt will see your team interact personally again. Our variation in clue types ensures everyone can reveal their natural strengths and enjoy being given a chance to shine. Our treasure hunts are also an opportunity for you to off-set your travel carbon footprint! We can do tree planting as part of our package with our professional foresters too.
